Did you trim the edge of your front miglias that fixes to the wings? Making them abit narrower so there is less overhang over the wheels?

I wana do that! Similar wheels, same arches and same problem.. Thanks, Haribo. i bought 4 front arches and 2 rear ones, i used the rear ones to cut up and extend the others. the rear arches are just screwed to the original arhes for now. the front's are bonded to the original arches making them a bit wider. 
then i extened them at the back by about 5" 
then i filled and painted them so they could screw on like the standard arch use to. 
i had them like this for a bit then i trimmed them down, so the wheel stick out a bit. i will have to play with the back ones when i tub the arches. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=262635 |
